Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It worries me this kind of thing
How you hope to live alone
And occupy your waking hours
We're taking sides again
I just wept, I couldn't understand
Why you started this again
[Verse 2]
And everyday you send me more
It makes it worse, is this a plan of yours
To ensure I don't forget?
I'd write and tell you
That I've burnt them all
But you never send me your address
And I've kept them anyway
[Verse 3]
So don't ask me if I think it's true
That communication can bring
Hope to those
Who have gone their separate ways
It hardly touched me
When it should have then
Memories are uncertain friends
When recalled by messages
[Verse 4]
